Fooled BY a PrestIdigitator.

A curious incident, which resulted
fatally to dog, occurred at an Indian
wigwam near Lewiston, l. T., the other
day between Prof. McAllister, the ma
gician, and the noble redskins. The
Indians had small dog that the pro-
fcssor took quite fancy to, and he
made himself quite familiar with the
brute by patting and petting him. He
asked the Indians how much they
would take for him. to which they re-
piled that they did not want to sell
him. The professor said "him very
valuable dog" at the same time rub
bing him down the back to his tail
length, at each stroke taking handful
of money from the end of his tail. also
from his mouth, ears and nose. AT
these strange proceedings the Indians
stood in awe and establishment After
the professor left their premises they
took the dog down to the river bank
and killed and dissected him. But ia
their great chagrin they found that the
professor had MIXED him Of all the
money.-Aroonaat

EFFECTS OF SNOW.
The Powerful Influence Which Its Pres.
ence Exerts Upon tho Climate.

ence Exerts Upon tho Climate.
The masses of snow and ice known
as glaciers, which are found upon high
mountains, have been the object of
many studies; and it is a matter to be
wondered at that the same has not
been the case with the immense beds
of snow that every winter cover parts
of Europe, Asia and America to disap-
pear in the following spring. 1t has
perhaps been thought that the latter
have less influence upon climate in
general than upon other more special
phenomena. But the observations that
follow will tend to show that this influ-
ence exists, and the subject is one well
worthy to be studied.
A bed Of snow covering the ground
acts as bad conductor, and renders
the exchange of temperature between
the surface of the ground and the lower
stratum of the atmosphere slower than
it would be if the snow were absent.
This is result of the porous structure
of snow, the interspaces of which are
filed with air. In this matter the con-
dition of the snow is of considerable i'm
portance; the minute crystals formed
by cold are poorer conductors than
the larger flakes; but if the snow by
alternate thawing and freezing as
sumes the form called neue, it becomes
a much better conductor of heat.
Farmers in countries that enjoy cold
winters are well aware of the protect
i've nature of the snow-covering, and
do not fear for their grain when it is
thick.
The presence of snow thus assures a
higher temperature to the upper layer
of the soil than it would otherwise
have, and its thickness is an equally
important factor with its structure.
But its effect on the air is different, for
it separates the air from the warmth
which without its presence would
escape from the ground. Snow also
exercises an important influence
through its power of radiation, which
is dependent on its whiteness and the
extent of its surface, but in which thick
ness is not a factor.-M Woeikof, "a,

STRAIGHT BUSINESS.
The Only Way to Win Public Confidence
and, Ultimately, Prosperity.

The Only Way to Win Public Confidence
and, Ultimately, Prosperity.
Those store-keepers best prosper in
the long run who go forward in a
straight, legitimate way in the every
day performance of their duties, who
allow it to be understood from the
start, by the public, that they do bust
ness to make money; that they are not
engaged in work of pure and disin-
terested philanthropy for the benefit of
the public, but are selling goods with
the intention and expectation of max
ing a reasonable profit. People do not
take any further stock in the announce
ment, Selling below cost" Any man
of sense knows that no store-keeper
can make regular practice of selling
goods below actual cost without ulti-
mate bankruptcy. The store-keeper
advertises good goods at reasonable
prices invariably wins the public con-
fidence, and retains it so long as he
deals honestly and squarely with his
patrons.
We are opposed to all "snide" prin-
ciples in store-keeping; they do not
pay. They are soon found out by the
public, and give a merchant bad rep
utation. If customer has q griev-
ance, If he feels that he has been inn
posed upon. he invariably makes his
injury to appear in the public eyes
about five times as bad as it really is;
but the dealer who keeps meritorious
and pure goods, and sells them for
prices proportionate to theirreal value,
makes friends, wins the public conf
dence, and ultimately prospers in his
business affairs.-The Merchant

Good Fences on the Farm.

Many an animal becomes breachy
because of the carelessness of the
farmer in looking after his fences. A
board gets loose or broken. and this
not having been attended to at once,
the animal gets out of the Enclosure.
Having once done this the beast is more
apt to try again, and finally even
good strong fence will not restrain it.
The cheapest and best way is to build
a good fence in the beginning. and then
see that it is kept in good repair, so
none of the stock will be tempted to get
over it or break it down. Animals kept
in lots surrounded by good fences are
not likely to become unruly, and if one
should be obtained that has acquired
this habit, it will be found better to dis
pose of it, lest it nct only prove a
source of constant annoyance, but also
be the means of making others in his
herd troublesome National LiUe- Stock

For Cons piracy.

CHICAGO, November 8. - Frederick
Koerst and Emil Wende have been
locked UP by the police on the charge
of conspiracy. At the time of the ar
rest, Koerst had on his person four
heavy revolvers for delivery to Wende,
to whom he was under contract TO
bring dozen of the same pattern. The
chief of detectives said the department
had evidence to convict those men and
anumber of others of conspiracy. For
two years the Anarchists and Socialists
have made their headquarters in the
northwestern part of the city. While
TO all outward. appearances they seemed
to have avoided all the haunts and
pathizers, they have been secretly
taking interest in the PRONUNCIATION of
their old-time doctrines. The police
have had spies among them, and as
soon as they began plotting last week,
a number of them were taken i'll by the
detectives. Lieutenant Steele refuses
to say how many prisoners have been
made.
